Question about foreign phones in US

[EyeB]

Hi I've been looking at foreign phones specifically this one http://chinagrabber.com/dapeng-a7-5-...bile---a7.aspx actually the site has a few that I like in the $200 price range which is what I'm after

I want it for the TV function -.- lol, does anyone know if an analog TV receiver on phone would work? Because of the whole digital TV switch a while back, I don't know.

Main thing is, with the nice winter/spring, I've been wanting to go camping more often, and out in woods I'd like to use the phone to pick up fm radio and TV (yeah... I still want my TV out in woods lol, I like to watch the local news stations for weather). And the added GPS is nice as well. Plus a 5" screen (I know, not as good screen as the galaxy note, but it isn't as expensive lol)

I won't be using this as a "phone" but more of a e-reader/radio/GPS/TV/Camera. And the price of the phone seems nice enough to get if all these works in the US.

With the bands it has it looks like it would work with AT$T,and T-mobile on EDGE only but of course it doesn't show any UMTS capability which is what's needed for 3G. As for picking up TV it will not work because only a few low power stations are analog and if this wooded area is anything like the slight one near my house, don't expect to be able to pick up anything.
